You can fill this clear baggie with candy of your choice, or how about some Gummy Worms? I'm certain any candy will do so long as you share them with those who also adore you!

Using a permanent marker write a child's name on the shovel and use during planting season. Or, make a fun 'mud pudding' using chocolate pudding, follow the recipe on the box, add Cool Whip to lighten it up and look like mud, then crunch some dark colored cookies like Oreo's and mix in the pudding. Add some Gummy Worms for some added fun!

I made these hearts with my kids as a Room Parent years ago. We glued them to an open lunch bag, empty cereal box or large grocery bag, then taped them to their desks to collect their valentines.
